LLBLGen Pro's designer needs the .NET framework v3.5 or higher to run. The .NET framework is a free download from Microsoft: click here to go there.
The generated code requires either .NET 2.0/.NET 3.0/NET 3.5 or .NET 4.0 to run. You can generate code for .NET 2.0/3.0/3.5/4.0
LLBLGen Pro ships with support for the following databases:
- SQL Server 2000/2005/2008/2008R2/Express/MSDE/CE Desktop
- Oracle 9i/10g/11g (using ODP.NET)
- Oracle 9i/10g/11g (using Microsoft's Oracle provider)
- PostgreSql 7.4+/8.x+ (using Npgsql provider for .NET 2.0)
- Firebird 1.x/2.x (using Firebird.NET provider for .NET 2.0)
- MS Access 2000/XP/2003/2007/2010 (using OleDb)
- IBM DB2 UDB 7.x/8.x/9x (using IBM DB2 .NET provider) (not on iSeries)
- MySql 4.x/5.x (using Core Lab's MySql .NET provider v3.x/v4.x or DevArt's MySql .NET provider v5.x)
- Sybase iAnywhere (ASA)
- Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE)
LLBLGen Pro uses the .NET 2.0 DbProviderFactory system, so all ADO.NET providers used have to be build for .NET 2.0 or higher.
LLBLGen Pro's generated code fully supports COM+ transactions. If you want to use COM+ transactions, you'll need Windows 2000 or higher (Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 2003/2008 Server).
To be able to determine the complete schema and all the relations inside it, LLBLGen Pro requires that the schema's have all the foreign key constraints and unique constraints necessary. If your schema doesn't have foreign key constraints, you can add these relations by hand in the designer.
The following list explains the requirements per supported database type.

"We just wanted to pass along both a thank you and congratulations on developing a truly great product. At the time of this
writing, we have been using Llblgen daily for just over a year. It has saved us a substantial amount of time and effort in developing
a very large application (77 components (exe's and dll's)).
When we started development, two issues were deemed to be of critical importance to the overall success of the project, database
independence and the strict adherence to the n-tiered design philosophy. Llblgen has permitted us to accomplish this effortlessly.
An added bonus that Llblgen delivered is a total simplification of the sometimes complex issues associated with database manipulation.
We have now started work on a second project and would not consider developing in .Net without Llblgen.
